Stop bumping old topics which have unmarked spoilers in them

Memnoch · 05-30-2001, 01:29 AM

I know who you guys are, your IPs are logged and are all coming from the same subnet. Continuing to do that will make me assume you only want to cause trouble and will get you banned.

If an old topic contains an unmarked spoiler from the past (as in December), don't bump it or reply to it. Start a new one instead.

That's a good point. Us oldies don't need the old spoilers and the newbies mightn't know about old spoilers with out warnings. Best to play safe and zap 'em

And who's going to go through each post and find out which ones are suitable and which aren't? Me?

Or are you volunteering, Lord Shield?

What Ziroc will do is archive old posts to save space in the database. Archived posts can't be replied to.

Nothing wrong with bumping old posts as long as their is value in them, and are not done just for the purpose of annoying people.

Besides, sometimes it nice to bump something from the past, like when someone asks how the whole thac0 and AC thingy works, it is sooo much easier to bump up a thread you remember someone writing in the past using the search engine then it is to spend the 30 minutes you truely need to explain it with great detail and show examples on how it works.

And worse comes to worse, you just go to the achieve and look it up. Much better than deleteing it. IMHO anyways.

Aye, he's right. Don't forget that its not only for the sake of the registered members but the guests that look upon us highly and the LAST thing that they want from TGEWEB is to be spoiled.

Wouldn't it be better to provide a link to the old thread rather than bumping it up?
